Affected: rc3

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before rc3

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy wwwthreads || rpm -q wwwthreads || wwwthreads --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before rc3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison wwwthreads sudo apt install wwwthreads=<VERSION_BEFORE_rc3> sudo apt-mark hold wwwthreads

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list wwwthreads sudo dnf downgrade wwwthreads-<VERSION_BEFORE_rc3> sudo dnf versionlock add wwwthreads

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
